Another student told Fox 17 that she thinks the teacher was joking. The student told the outlet that the teacher taped Reagan’s mouth while trying to quiet the class a whole. But regardless of the intention, Victoia said it has had a negative effect on Reagan.

“That messes with you for life, and then as a mother to protect, it’s like, that messed up our trust, she felt like I knew about it and I allowed it to happen,” she said of her daughter’s reaction to the incident.

Because of this, she wants to see the Metro Nashville Public Schools, who did not immediately respond to INSIDER’s request for comment, and the teacher, take action.

“I would like for her to make a public statement, and a public apology to my daughter,” Victoria said. “She was humiliated.”

Per Fox 17, the department of child services and Metro Nashville Public Schools are looking into the situation.

Victoria is motivated to fight on her daughter’s behalf: “I am angry, I am hurt, and I am driven.”
